Some Cal State Fullerton students are out of luck. KPCC’s Susan Valot says the university has started canceling classes because of state budget cuts.

The canceled classes are in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. The cancellations come as an unwelcome surprise to students because they came so late; other classes that undergrads might have picked up instead are already full.

In a letter posted on Cal State Fullerton’s Web site, the acting dean of the college says she “deeply regrets the need to cancel the classes” and “regrets the disruption” to students’ academic plans. But Acting Dean Angela Della Volpe says further cancellations are possible if the budget situation worsens. Like other UC and Cal State campuses, Cal State Fullerton is also requiring furlough days for faculty and staff to save money.
